so x-mas is coming up and I get about 800 bucks in cash, and i need help thinking which way i should go.

1: tires for rims that i got last year and never put on and some new Tattoos, will leave me with no cash left over.

OR

2: BBIST vented hood, will leave me with 170 left.

Yeah i have to go take some, maybe Sunday. I will post some as soon as i can.plz post some pics i would love to see how it looks on a BOP xb


oh

by the way im doing the rims 1st then the hood, if you look at it rims do a whole lot to a car as far as looks. it would look a bit to ricer for me with the hood and wing and runing on stock wheels.

LOTS TO DO! lol.. does anyone know if there is an xB out there PLASTERED in CF??? if so I WOULD LOVE to see it, i want to see how it looks so i have "Future" reference on how my box would look :D thanks....

Haha that is awesome man, thanks for the compliments.

The spoiler iss the "VS" style. It is shorter than the VF and it hangs down lower on the sides.

The last CF things I want are The CF Hatch Handle and CF Fenders. Got the CF engine cover on the way also.

Make sure to keep us updated cause CF looks great on a TCM xB!

Not to bring down the party or anything but hopefully you can still get CF from Steve @ bBist. I heard that he wasn't making certain or all CF products any more because it is too expensive or something like that. I had to buy my hood from the Pheonix @ Percision Muffler. Also, some guy on this site is looking for a CF spoiler from bBist and said Steve wasn't making them. Sorry for the bad news but good luck with the search. I will keep my ears and eyes open and let you guys know if i hear anything else.

I think thats true, I recall ordering the last spoiler like mine.

I guess thats pretty awesome to get the last one and know there wont be any more.

11-22-2006, 02:30 AM
Yeah now your car is even more unique and it looks great! I got mine off of the red Pheonix project car so that is my hood's unique story. By the way, i will post some pics as soon as i get a chance. sorry for the delay!

Dayum! That sucks!!!! I wish he still made it, he has THE NICEST CF parts (I think) lol... I cant wait to get the hood (If I find one) and also the VF CF spoiler (The long one, again IF i find one, lol) by the way, this is a stupid question, and especially on THIS thread but out of like you 5 people on this thread r yall like gothic or "Emo" or sumthin, lol... I for one am! lol alot of people r like, "Hey! I like your car, it really matches your "ARTSY/ EMOISH look your going there" hahaha i was like OOOOOkay, cause funny thing i wear those big like 5 inch high combat boots and whenever i get in or out i hit my leg on the steering wheel, and i get out and people r like WOAH! your tall for that car, can u fit? haha im like yeah! thats why i got this beauty!! lol

I dont tend to label myself but I do have emo hair I guess.

I listen to mostly grind and hardcore music too. A little emo music here and there, like brand new and alkaline trio. Just bought the new converge album and it rocks!

My favorite band has always been Fear Before The March Of Flames.

I personally like the bird poop on the front of the car. I think it adds a "special" touch! haha. Oh by the way, I heard that Steve at bBist is going to start making carbon fiber products again. I guess he is supposed to be opening a new factory designated specifically for carbon fiber... YAY!!!

b4 ordering my Seibon SC hood, I called bBist to order the vented hood. I was informed that all CF parts were out of stock due to the US shortage of carbon fiber. I got put on a waiting list to be contacted when manufacturing restarts. So, I dont think that Steve is not making CF stuff anymore, just not for now.

Spike91

He will be starting to manufacture carbon fiber once again this month (hopefully). He said he is opening a new factory in January designated just for CF.

I have a quick question on the CF Vented Hood. I live in Washington where the rain is ample at times. Does the vented hood allow water into the engine compartment? I love the look, just dont know about the water.

I drive with it all the yam time and no problems. just a dirty engine bay if you don't maintain it. The run off of the vent doesnt hit anything important. So no worries, its Sea-Tac safe. As for snow, I dont know.
